I noticed in the pics I posted that the Skyblazer and Wing patch are rather large, almost touching the bottom blue stripe. Also it's off centered from the top blue stripe. Otherwise its one of the best paints! Thru the years the markings, stripes, and patches changed shape on the Skyblazer F-100.
Year 1961

Thanks TuFun! That's definitely something I can and am willing to fix. Don't look too closely or youll spot all my mistakes and inconsistencies!! 
this was one of the most inconsistent paints I've ever looked at from a photographic perspective. At leadt from the photos I saw. As you said, they changed many times the paints and seems like there was never a standard paint other than the location of the nose stripes in relation to the wing. Other than that, I've seen red lettering, lettering size variations, location and size of patches, star pattern variations. Hopefully I didnt botch it up too badly! LOL. Great screens! Thanks DaveQ!
I will defintiely release a v3 of this paint when I have more time and will eliminate as many errors as possible. Right now I'm too busy in real life...I also noticed some overlap in the stars on the drop tanks....sigh...tried to do it quick to hold you guys over....but it will be fixed I do like this scheme personally.

You peeked my interest in the the Skyblazer and really enjoy what you did on the paint!. So when I went digging, I to didn't realize how many changes were done in the few years it was active. They even move the US AIR FORCE up or down on the fuse. The bottom of the E is lined up with the red stripe on the star insignia in one, then changed another year. Just pick a year and find something different in the layout.

Glad you like it! Yes, this was my pain when trying to decide where to place things and what look to use. In photos, unless specified, there's no way to kow what year you are looking at...at least not from a casual observers standpoint. For a time I was going to make the lettering Red. But discovered that was about the least realistic...not sure how long or if ever it was used. I doubt very long if at all...
